The Open Film School Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing film and media education. Our mission is to empower students in low-income groups with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and contribute to the rapidly evolving landscape of media.
Through innovative programs and resources, we aim to help students make sense of the pervasive influence of media in their lives and equip them with the tools to critically analyze, create, and engage with various forms of visual storytelling. Whether it’s understanding the power of cinema, mastering digital media production, or exploring the intricacies of storytelling techniques, we strive to cultivate a community of informed and inspired media enthusiasts.

Media education plays a crucial role in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

SDG 16.10 on public access to information and fundamental freedoms cannot be achieved without independent media which can help in achieving all SDGs – whether gender equality, climate change eliminating poverty, reducing inequalities, and sustainable cities.

At the heart of our foundation is a commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore their passion for film and media regardless of background or socioeconomic status. Through our outreach initiatives, we seek to break down barriers and foster a diverse community of aspiring filmmakers and storytellers.
